Shower power

It's the unofficial start to summer and Hansgrohe is kicking off the season with RainBrain -- an electronic computer system for the shower. Much like the highly coveted tablets and smartphones out there, the RainBrain is outfitted with an electronic touchscreen panel that allows users to select their preferences in an easy visual way. For the ultimate in customization, the system can be preset for up to four people and has options for water cascade, hot/cold shower alternation and music selection via a Bluetooth® compatible smartphone or media player- accessible via the menu function.

My favorite part -- an electronic anti-scald system to protects children (and adults) from being exposed to high temperatures by accident.
